“Go Pescatarian” this October for First Annual Pescatarian Month

Dish on Fish invites Americans to discover the benefits of the seafood-plus-vegetarian diet

MCLEAN, Va. (PRWEB) October 01, 2020

The first annual National Pescatarian Month kicks off this October, and you’re invited! Get a jumpstart on a healthy new lifestyle and take part in the first-ever National Pescatarian Month this October!

National Pescatarian Month is a worldwide celebration of the pescatarian diet, which features a combination of seafood and vegetarian options. Those vegetarian choices might include grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, vegetables, eggs, and dairy items. The variety of seafood options, of course, is as vast as the ocean itself.

But who gets to just name a month, anyway? Not just anybody—the folks at National Today, arbiters of special days and months on the calendar and the experts in tracking food culture, designated October as National Pescatarian Month starting this year.

To inaugurate the holiday, Dish on Fish is inviting seafood lovers everywhere to “Go Pescatarian.” Throughout the month, the blog is providing its visitors ample opportunities to get acquainted with the lifestyle, showcasing nutritious, pescatarian-focused meal plans and sharing tips for simple seafood prep and cooking that even kitchen novices can tackle.

In addition, Dish on Fish has created a new, pescatarian-friendly e-cookbook, “Everyday Seafood Recipes: 53 Quick & Easy Dishes,” featuring primarily pescatarian, original recipes for the home cook.

“Our new e-cookbook shows just how easy it is to include seafood in your family’s meal plans,” explains Judy Dashiell, the senior vice president of the National Fisheries Institute. “Many of the book’s recipes utilize everyday pantry staples and we illustrate a lot of different techniques for preparing seafood—we even have pescatarian recipes for the slow cooker and air fryer!”

Nearly all of the book’s recipes—for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks—have been created or approved by nationally recognized registered dietician Rima Kleiner, MS, RDN.

Experts say going pescatarian can augment one’s intake of vital nutrients—including healthy proteins and omega-3 fatty acids—and help improve brain and heart health, protect against diabetes, and reduce the risk of inflammation. And the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends the consumption of seafood at least two or three times a week.
